“…As such, the sense of entitlement may lead to negative outcomes in terms of anger, frustration and viewing outcomes as unfair or unsatisfactory. Thus, individuals with a high sense of entitlement may show non-adaptive behaviors when there is a large gap between the expected help or provisions and their availability (Golann & Darling-Aduana, 2020).…”

People believe that they are entitled to well-being and safety, and their responses to unexpected traumatic events reveal individual differences. Their reactions vary, from feeling blocked and distressed to feeling proactive towards new growth, depending on their personal resources. The current study sought to identify the role of entitlement in explaining post-traumatic growth (PTG) while considering the role of gratitude and hope as personal resources. We used a community-based sample of Israeli adults (n = 182) who reported experiencing a traumatic event during the preceding year. The relationships between PTG and their sense of entitlement, gratitude, and hope were examined. A stepwise multiple hierarchical regression revealed that all the three variables were associated with PTG. However, the effect of hope turned insignificant with the inclusion of sense of entitlement and gratitude in the regression. Sense of entitlement and gratitude were independently associated with PTG. The theoretical contribution of these findings is discussed, as well as their interventional implications and future directions. Keywords Post-traumatic growth • Sense of entitlement • Hope • GratitudeThroughout their lives, most individuals experience some traumatic events, such as the unexpected death of a relative, a life-threatening disease, or an injury (Benjet et al., 2016). There is a high prevalence of lifetime exposure to potentially traumatic events, estimated at nearly 70% in community samples (

“…Perceptions of emotion are not universal, but depend on cultural and conceptual contexts [44]. Parents also have an effect on their children, by transferring a "cultural toolkit" to them, that impacts their attitude and preferences [45]. As an example, Western countries may tend to associate engagement more with its behavioural component (e.g., assertiveness, hand-raising and discourse), whereas other cultures may value the cognitive component more (thoughtful attentiveness).…”

Computer Vision and Human Behaviour, Emotion and Cognition Detection: A Use Case on Student Engagement

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Computer vision has shown great accomplishments in a wide variety of classification, segmentation and object recognition tasks, but tends to encounter more difficulties when tasks require more contextual assessment. Measuring the engagement of students is an example of such a complex task, as it requires a strong interpretative component. This research describes a methodology to measure students’ engagement, taking both an individual (student-level) and a collective (classroom) approach. Results show that students’ individual behaviour, such as note-taking or hand-raising, is challenging to recognise, and does not correlate with students’ self-reported engagement. Interestingly, students’ collective behaviour can be quantified in a more generic way using measures for students’ symmetry, reaction times and eye-gaze intersections. Nonetheless, the evidence for a connection between these collective measures and engagement is rather weak. Although this study does not succeed in providing a proxy of students’ self-reported engagement, our approach sheds light on the needs for future research. More concretely, we suggest that not only the behavioural, but also the emotional and cognitive component of engagement should be captured.

“…We argue that fostering a critical stand as part of a sense of entitlement contributes to a capacity for independent thinking and the challenging of authority. Several studies associate sense of entitlement with self‐absorption (Golann and Darling‐Aduanna 2020). In our study, 35 ERs (70%) mirror the high‐SES perception of reality in relation to the self, but only four of the 50 examined ERs (8%) portray a group experience at their core.…”

“…Much of the literature on sense of entitlement and socioeconomic classes focused on parenting and children, or on school or college‐aged young adults (see Golann and Darling‐Aduana 2020; Lareau 2011). This study focuses on the perceptions of adults as reflected through their ERs, thereby revealing the sense of entitlement cultivated in childhood as deeply embedded among high‐SES adults.…”

“…In their review of sense of entitlement, Joanne W. Golann and Jennifer Darling‐Aduanna (2020) quote studies that associate a sense of entitlement self‐absorption. We found that of the 50 ERs, 35 (70%) focus on self (even if others were present), 11 on a dyad/triad, and only four on a group experience.…”

This qualitative study explores the links between high socioeconomic class, self, and adults’ early recollections. Social class affects psychological functioning and the concept of self. Early recollections—specific memories from childhood—depict individuals’ core concepts about self and life. We conducted semi‐structured interviews with 14 high‐socioeconomic‐status participants and elicited at least 3 early recollections per participant (resulting in a total of 50 recollections). Themes that emerged from analysis of the early recollections include a capacity for controlling reality, sense of entitlement, and self‐focus. Sense of entitlement includes the categories of uniqueness, deserving special attention, and taking a critical stand. We view these characteristics as both personal assets and expressions of a collective class‐related superior sense of self. We suggest that together, these qualities serve as a mechanism for cultivating privileges and an elite sense of self. We encourage increased awareness and sensitivity toward the multifaceted power of these resources in educational and therapeutic settings. [social class, self, early recollection, sense of entitlement] חווית זכאות: המפגש בין מעמד סוציו אקונומי גבוה, העצמי וזכרונות מוקדמים תקציר: מחקר איכותני זה בוחן את היחסים בין מעמד סוציו אקונומי גבוה, מושג‐העצמי וזכרונות מוקדמים של מבוגרים. מעמד חברתי נמצא במחקרים קודמים כקשור במושג העצמי ובתפקוד פסיכולוגי. זכרונות מוקדמים, זכרונות ספציפיים מתקופת הילדות, מייצגים את תפיסות הפרט לגבי העצמי ולגבי החיים. קיימנו ראיונות חצי מובנים עם 14 משתתפים מהמעמד הסוציו אקונומי הגבוה, ואספנו לפחות שלושה זכרונות מוקדמים מכל משתתף (סה”כ חמישים זכרונות). התימות שהופיעו בנתונים כוללות את היכולת לשלוט במציאות, תחושת זכאות ומיקוד בעצמי. תחושת זכאות כוללת קטגוריות של ייחודיות, זכאות לתשומת לב מיוחדת, ונקיטת עמדה ביקורתית. אנו רואים מאפיינים אילו הן כמשאבים אישיים, והן כביטויים של תפיסת עצמ הקשורה למעמד. אנו מציעים שאיכויות אילו ביחד משמשים כמנגנון המטפח תפיסת עצמי אליטיסטית.
